To the extent this has "thinned the herd", death totals could go down in the future. The death toll in the US is remarkably constant year over year, and is up about 300,000 this year (last I looked), from 2 million expected (12 months).
So, IF that 300,000 was going to die in the next 2-3 years (significantly), we might see a reduction, but it might be 50,000 a year or so, maybe.
